If I don't put a caption on my table, I don't get the "Table 2.2" label underneath it. If I add a blank caption, I get "Table 2.2:". How do I get rid of the ":"?

I am using memoir and threeparttable. Within the threeparttable, I am using a tabular, but I don't think that matters.

No need to load extra packages; memoir is a very versatile class that offers its own features, in this case, \captiondelim:

\documentclass{memoir}

\begin{document}

\chapter{Test Chapter}
\begin{table}
\centering
\rule{2cm}{2cm}
\captiondelim{}
\caption{}
\end{table}

\end{document}

enter image description here

Remark: in fact, loading caption with the memoir class triggers a warning:

Class memoir Warning: You are using the caption package with the memoir class. This may cause unexpected or inconsistent results if you use any of memoir's captioning facilities.

add \usepackage{caption} in the preamble. It should automatically remove the colon before empty captions.

  • Thank you, this works. It's surprising that memoir doesn't automatically include caption. Does caption interfere with ccaption, which is automatically included by memoir? – Neil G Mar 18 '13 at 22:43
  • I didn't use the ccaption or memoir packages before and my undestanding of LaTeX in general is still limited... If i had to guess, i'd say it depends on which you include first. – barghest Mar 18 '13 at 22:52
